Q. & A. with Cara
Why did you start breeding?
I didn't plan to start breeding. I love this breed and I love this line. Daphne had alot of great wins under her belt that I felt I wanted to keep that momentum going. With Daphne's third & final litter, I gave a girl puppy (Katniss) back to Dash's breeder. She had Winifred in 2018 and she came to me. With the pandemic I was not able get out and show Winifred but we have plans later this year to finish
What makes your program special?
This line. I love the personalities. I'd love to chat more about this.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
